Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 31, 2011, Lindsay Corporation (the Company) entered into a Seventh Amendment (the
Amendment) to the Employment Agreement (the Agreement) between the Company and Richard W.
Parod, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. This Amendment extended the term of
the Agreement for two additional years so that the term shall continue in effect until April 5,
2013. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On January 31, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an amendment to the By-Laws of
the Company to remove Section 3.15 of the existing By-Laws which required a director to retire from
the Board of Directors no later than the annual meeting following his 70th birthday at
which his term of office ends and prohibited re-nomination of that director for another term. In
adopting the amendment, the Board of Directors felt that a strict age limitation for serving on the
Board of Directors was not necessary as the Boards peer review process provides the Board with the
ability to assess a directors contributions and suitability to stand for re-election. The
amendment of the By-Laws was effective immediately. A copy of the Amended and Restated By-Laws of
the Company is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

for the annual meeting, December 2, 2010, there were 12,543,201 shares of common stock entitled to
vote at the meeting, of which the holders of 10,661,348 shares (85%) were represented at the
meeting. The matters voted on and the voting results are as follows:
